Objective To observe the protective and antioxidative effect of Xinjihuoliyin on the myocardium injury induced by adriamycin (ADM) in rats. Methods 80 SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:normal group, control group, Xinjihuoliyin group and positive control group (Huangqishengmaiyin group). In control group, Xinjihuoliyin group and Huangqishengmaiyin group, ADM was intraperitonial injected at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg, three times every week, for 4 weeks, while normal saline was intraperitonial injected at a dose of 3 mL/kg in normal group. In Xinjihuoliyin group, Xinjihuoliyin was intragastric administrated once a day at a dose of 10 g/kg. In Huangqishengmaiyin group, Huangqishengmaiyin was intragastric administrated once a day at a dose of 7 mL/kg and distilled water was given to other two groups. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) of serum and myocardium were assayed. The myocardial pathomorphism was detected at the same time. Results Compared with the control group, MDA of serum and myocardium was lower, and SOD of serum and myocardium was higher in Xinjihuoliyin and Huangqishengmaiyin group. The scale of myocardial pathological damage in Xinjihuoliyin and Huangqishengmaiyin group was improved. Conclusion Xinjihuoliyin has protective effect and antioxidative effect on the myocardium injury induced by adriamycin in rats.

Objective: To explore the correlation among overweight, obesity and markers of prethrombotic state in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods: A total of 288 patients to hospital from 2013 to 2014 and diagnosed as CHD by coronary angiography were selected. According to body mass index (BMI), they were divided into CHD control group (n=106), overweight group (n=121) and obesity group (n=61). Levels of fibrinogen (Fg), plasma D dimmer (D-D), von Willebrand factor (vWF), antithrombin Ⅲ (AT-Ⅲ) and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 were compared among three groups, then received correlation analysis.Results: Compared with CHD control group, there were significant rise in levels of triglyceride, total cholesterol, fasting blood glucose and mean arterial pressure, morbidity rates of hypertension and diabetes mellitus in overweight group and obesity group, P<0.05 or <0.01. Compared with CHD control group, there were significant rise in levels of Fg [(2.89±0.60) g/L vs. (3.54±0.63) g/L vs. (3.92±0.94) g/L], D-D [(282.13±73.15) ng/ml vs. (390.04±73.54) ng/ml vs. (471.92±80.38) ng/ml], vWF [(108.62±24.66)% vs. (138.45±25.96)% vs. (161.20±29.39)%] and PAI-1 [(6.97±1.28) ng/ml vs. (9.60±1.73) ng/ml vs. (12.33±2.16) ng/ml] in overweight group and obesity group, P<0.01 all, and those of obesity group were significantly higher than those of overweight group, P<0.01 or <0.05; AT-Ⅲ level [(89.94±17.99)% vs. (69.89±20.22)%] significantly reduced in obesity group (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis indicated that BMI was positively correlated with markers of prethrombotic state [Fg: r=0.536, P<0.001; D-D: r=0.250, P<0.001; vWF: r=0.611, P<0.001;PAI-1: r=0.788,P<0.001). Conclusion: BMI is positively correlated with markers of prothrombotic state in CHD patients.

Proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells is regulated by autologous or external, adjacent or remote cell signaling pathways. This paper reviewed the studies about the Notch, BMP, Wnt, Shh signaling pathways related to brain neurogenesis.

This article was aimed to study the protective effects and mechanism of resveratrol (Res) on endothelial injury induced by atherosclerosis ( AS ) . Lysophosphatidylcholine ( LPC ) was applied to induce the model of injured endothelial cells. Flow cytometer was used to detect the rate of cell apoptosis. TUNEL staining was used to detect the cell apoptosis. MTT colorimetric test was used to detect the cell viability. Automatic biochemistry analyzer was used to measure the LDH level . ELISA was used to detect TNF-α level . RT-PCR was used to determine the mRNA levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). The results showed that Res with the concentration of 20 μmol/L can effectively slow down the degree of endothelial cell injury induced by LPC which caused the cell disability, high LDH level and high TNF-α level (P < 0.01). Res showed effects on mRNA expression of CGRP. It was concluded that Res can protect against endothelial injury induced by AS, the mechanism of which may be associated with accelerating CGRP synthesis and release by activating VR1.

Objective To explore the effects of morroniside on the expression of CD34 in ipsilateral cortex of rats after focal cerebral isch-emia-reperfusion. Methods 45 male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sham group (n=9), ischemia group (n=9), and morroniside groups (low, medium and high dosage groups, n=9). The middle cerebral artery were occluded for 30 minutes, and reperfused. Morroniside was administered intragastrically once a day at dose of 30 mg/kg, 90 mg/kg, 270 mg/kg after operation. The expression of CD34 in the isch-emic ipsilateral cortex were detected with immunohistochemistry (n=6) and Western blotting (n=3) 7 days after operation. Results The ex-pression of CD34 increased in the ischemia group compared with the sham group, and further increased in the morroniside groups of high dos-age compared with the ischemia group (F>14.865, P<0.001). Conclusion Morroniside could increase the expression of CD34 in the ischemic ipsilateral cortex after ischemia-reperfusion in rats, which may promote the angiogenesis and neurogenesis after ischemia.

Objective To investigate the effects of morroniside on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fi-broblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) in rat cortex after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Methods 30 male Sprague-Dawley rats were ran-domly divided into sham group, model group, morroniside-low group (30 mg/kg), morroniside-middle group (90 mg/kg) and morroni-side-high group (270 mg/kg). Middle cerebral arteries of rats were occluded for 30 minutes with Longa's method and re-perfused. The ex-pression of VEGF and FGF-2 in the ischemic ipsilateral cortex was detected with Western blotting 7 days after reperfusion. Results The ex-pression of both VEGF and FGF-2 increased in the ischemic ipsilateral cortexin in all the ischemic groups compared with the sham group (P<0.05). The expression of VEGF further increased in a dose-dependent manner in all the morroniside groups compared with that of model group (P<0.05), and the expression of FGF-2 increased in the morroniside-high group (P<0.001). Conclusion Morroniside could increase the expression of VEGF and FGF-2 after ischemia-reperfusion, which might promote angiogenesis.

Objective:To survey the child health service capacity of community health service institutions in Shenzhen city.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. An online survey was conducted among 559 community health service centers, stations and clinics in Shenzhen from January 23, 2024 to February 3, 2024. The questionnaire contents included the development of child health management, vaccination, diagnosis and treatment of common diseases in children, management of children′s chronic diseases, appropriate technology, availability of children′s special drug dosage forms, provision of special Chinese patent medicine and appropriate technology of traditional Chinese medicine for children, referral and remote consultation in 2019 and 2023. The reasons of unavailable service items were asked in the questionnaire and the questionnaire also contained an open-ended question about the suggestions for improving the capacity of child health services.Results:A total of 559 valid questionnaires were collected, accounting for 64.48% (559/867) of the community health service centers, stations and health clinics in Shenzhen in 2023. Compared to 2019, there was a significant increase in the rate of pediatric health services provided in 2023, including the diagnosis and treatment of common diseases in children under 6 years (96.06%, 537 institutions), nebulized inhalation therapy (96.60%, 540 institutions), influenza and other respiratory pathogen detection (90.70%, 507 institutions), rotavirus and other intestinal pathogen detection (34.53%, 193 institutions), allergen detection (81.75%, 457 institutions), blood oxygen saturation monitoring (84.44%, 472 institutions), pediatric-specific formulations of Western medicine (90.52%, 506 institutions), pediatric-specific formulations of traditional Chinese medicine (89.27%, 499 institutions), appropriate Chinese medicine techniques (88.19%, 493 institutions), relatively fixed referral hospitals (95.17%, 532 institutions), and remote consultation service (19.14%, 107 institutions); and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). The reasons for unavailable service items were lack of space and personnel for the basic public health services, lack of space, personnel and a deficiency in knowledge and technical capabilities for diagnostic tests, and lack of equipment and personnel for remote consultation service. Suggestions made by 394 respondent institutions (70.48%) for further improvement included: conducting and strengthening various training (44.42%, 175/394), consultation and teaching by expert visiting (18.53%, 73/394), increasing the space and equipment (9.39%, 37/394), and further study at higher-level units (98.88%, 35/394). Conclusions:The child health services have been greatly improved in community health service institutions in Shenzhen, but there are still rooms for further improvement such as the ability of child health management, vaccination, chronic disease managements and provision of remote consultation.
